Unai Emery has already stated that he will give youngsters a chance to prove themselves at Arsenal next season.

If you are good enough, you will get opportunities to impress. That is the message Arsenal's new head coach has sent out to the club's talented youngsters.

“In terms of young players, it’s important to give them the opportunities that they deserve,” Emery told Standard Sport. “And when they earn those opportunities, they also earn the respect of their teammates.

“I’ve never seen anything handed out for free in football and in terms of Arsenal and their history, the young players have always earned those opportunities.

“I’m not going to be closing the door to anyone, so I’ll be giving young players just the opportunities that they deserve.”

And Emery has a host of talented young stars available to him at Arsenal, whose Under-23s side won Premier League 2 last season and whose Under-18s made it to the FA Youth Cup final

We take a look at six who could saw Emery millions in the transfer market over the next couple of seasons.

Eddie Nketiah

In Nketiah, Arsenal have one of the most exciting young striking prospects in the country.

And Nketiah's goalscoring exploits show no sign of slowing down. The 18-year-old has scored 12 goals in 13 games for the U23s this season as they won the Premier League 2 title and also scored twice for the senior side in the 2-1 League Cup victory against Norwich City.

The 20-year-old joined Stevenage on loan in January and spent the end of the season with the League One club.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Whilst many were expecting Reiss Nelson to be the youngster who really made the step up this season, Ainsley Maitland-Niles has in fact been the player who has forced his way into the first-team picture.

What is even more surprising, however, is that he initially did at left-back, rather than his preferred position in central midfield.

Maitland-Niles impressed massively when filling in for Nacho Monreal during the first half of the season, just as he did when asked to a job at right-back.

He did get opportunities to play in his favoured central midfield role from time to time and was named man of the match against Manchester United.

Xavier Amaechi

There is genuine excitement from those behind the scenes at Arsenal about the 17-year-old winger, who has been with the club since August, 2013.

Amaechi possess rapid pace and was handed his first professional contract in January on the day he turned 17.

He played a starring role in the Under-18s run to the FA Youth Cup final, scoring in the first leg of the semi-final against Blackpool.

Emile Smith-Rowe

In Emile Smith-Rowe, Arsenal have an attacking midfielder who looks as good as any young player in the country.

The 17-year-old was moved into a central position at the start of the 2017/18 season having previously been a winger and he has played a starring role throughout the campaign.

Just a look at the individual run he set off on to win the penalty during the 5-0 win against Blackpool in the FA Youth Cup semi-final second leg is enough to see the thrilling talent Smith-Rowe possess. As was the fabulous free-kick he scored during the quarter-final success at Colchester.

Smith-Rowe, who was part of England's Under-17s World Cup winning squad in 2017, joined Arsenal in 2010 and made his debut for the U23s at the age of just 16.
